Our Story
Brewing the Future of Enterprise Transformation
At the heart of everything we do at ins-pi is love. Just as the difference between a good and a great cup of coffee lies in the passion poured into it, we believe that true transformation begins with a deep love for what we do. This philosophy shapes every aspect of our work—driving us to create visionary solutions that empower businesses to design their futures with precision and purpose.
From Idea to Impact
Founded in 2015, ins-pi has grown from a bold idea into a transformative force in the world of Enterprise Architecture (EA). With a single vision in mind—to simplify complexity and bridge the gap between strategy and execution—we’ve been on a journey of innovation, excellence, and impact. Today, we are proud to be recognized as:
- A Visionary in the Gartner Magic Quadrant
- A Three-Time TOP100 Innovator

We don’t just adapt to change; we drive it. Our tools and methodologies empower organizations to navigate the complexities of today’s business landscape with clarity and confidence.
Crafting Transformation Like Coffee
Enterprise Architecture is an art—much like brewing the perfect cup of coffee. At ins-pi, we see ourselves as master baristas of transformation, blending the finest “ingredients” to create something exceptional for our customers. Every component matters:
- Trust is our foundation—like the coffee beans that form the heart of every brew.
- Transparency is the water—essential to draw out richness and depth.
- Respect is the chocolate—adding warmth and comfort to every interaction.
- Honesty is the grind—ensuring everything is authentic and balanced.
- Teamwork is the milk—bringing diverse elements together into harmony.
- Success is the finished cup—tailored to the unique taste of every organization.
With this recipe, we’ve helped countless organizations go beyond instant solutions and create architectures that are robust, adaptable, and future-ready.
